*wonder*

i am tied with chains.. and caged,
and you have moved far away..
i don't know how to reach out
i am left with no words to say..
you ask me to spread my wings and fly..
i wonder, i wonder why.. ..

there is absolutely darkness spread around and it's strange that i stumbled upon something in this empty room.. a candle perhaps..

and in those dark streets, a stranger i bumped into.. a stranger or maybe not..

maybe i'm not meant to light up this room.. but i can almost hear it cry out to me.. for the warmth.. and the desire to be lit up.. to see itself..

its strange.. to feel so close to a stranger.. to have no inhibitions and to help him discover himself..

no, it wasn't about me ever.. but i feel the pain..
and i wonder, was i the stranger, or the one whom you stumbled by?
i wonder why..

and well thanks for posting soon. hope u keep posting. as for me i'll do it once i am free... and i dont start feeling sleepy from 8 o'clock.

well.... there are some many "why's" to wonder upon in life. not all has reasons i guess... or many be we r better off not knowing the reasons or the answers to the "why's"

but what we are waitin for is an update from you.. maybe we will have to wait a little longer..
yes, perhaps we are better not knowing all reasons.. maybe there aren't all reasons

Wow. Seriously who is this stranger? You've got to tell us what/who the delicately crafted hints point to.

Sonika said...

Others seem to ask the very same questions I asked when I first read this post :)

people are strange.. when you are a stranger!

Prateek said...

Hey..you can't go around changing your words like that. I remember your answer to a previous question was that all this is from deep within, and that means its real and not fiction! Not letting you get away so easy ;)

Sonika said...

haha.. really.. there's no new person i've met lately..! maybe sometimes, the ones we already know, or are rather close to, seem to be strangers.. ?

your writing makes it so clear that you KNOW this STRANGER very well....i'm contradicting my own sentence but thats what the post is all about isnt it ?? :)

Sonika said...

hey.. yea.. its all about contradictions.. isn't that what life is all about.. and my darling, you have commented before hahha..

@ shilpu.. guess i've been the stranger all along :( maybe even for myself..

hmm interesting .. the concept of seeing a stranger in the dark and feeling close .. perhaps the only reason u feel close is because it's dark and well as u stated if the room is lit up .. that closeness that one longs for will disappear .. interesting !!
